Arrest

'Ahem…' Arihan cleared his throat when Alora didn't stop her mischievousness with the little princess. 

He hid bafflement at the thought of Alora being mute for weeks till yesterday and was now playing around without the fear of hurting others. 

Awareness about Sorcha's presence has definitely eased her and her fear of hurting others. But he could only hope she wouldn't make rash decisions and sacrifice her life to unshackle Sorcha from her body.

Alora and Anne abruptly sat like wellbred ladies, struggling to hide their smiles. They looked at Arihan who had returned with a royal maid.

Anne's lady-in-waiting fought back her smile and offered, "Allow me to help you, Your Highness." She tried to take the hot towel from the royal maid.
